DOJ probing TikTok over allegations of spying on US tech journalists | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/Of5MXbBOldQ The Justice Department is investigating claims that the Chinese company that owns TikTok has been spying on US tech journalists, according to a report Friday. The probe into ByteDance stems from the company’s acknowledgment in December that employees had obtained data of US TikTok users, some of whom were reporters, the New York Times said. Sources told the Times that the Justice Department, along with the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia, are looking into how ByteDance employees were able to access that data.

Biden ducks questions day after media revolt over lack of St. Patrick’s Day presser | New York Post

News- US

http://youtu.be/5P5WHD_9ySk President Biden refused to take reporter questions at a St. Patrick’s Day meeting with visiting Irish leader Leo Varadkar. The media duck came despite press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre a day earlier attempting to quell a reporter outcry over the lack of a joint press conference by saying Biden might do so. The 80-year-old president smiled and raised his eyebrows as he ignored shouted questions in the Oval Office while sitting alongside Varadkar — as press wranglers bellowed “Thank you so much!” and “Please follow this way.” Without a formal press conference, Varadkar, whose title taoiseach is equivalent to the role of prime minister, was left to talk to reporters on the White House driveway — a less dignified venue than the East Room or Rose Garden, where U...

http://youtu.be/C8l3bEG6YZw President Biden defended the stability of the US banking system on Monday morning after the stunning collapse of Silicon Valley Bank sparked fears of a major economic crisis. “Thanks to the quick action of my administration over the last few days, Americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe,” Biden said. “Your deposits will be there when you need them.” The president sought to reassure worried Americans and small business owners even as regional bank stocks led by First Republic Bank plunged in premarket trading Monday due to fears that SVB’s meltdown would prompt a nationwide flurry of withdrawals.

Don Lemon’s ratings-challenged ‘CNN This Morning’ gets shakeup | New York Post

http://youtu.be/F87mbsn_Izc CNN tapped two veteran executive producers on Monday to oversee Don Lemon’s ratings-challenged and controversy-marred “CNN This Morning.” Longtime CNN producer Lauren Mensch and Chris Russell, who recently was the executive producer for NewsNation’s “On Balance with Leland Vittert,” will grab the reins from Eric Hall, according to the cable news network. The moves come amid a flurry of bad publicity for Lemon. The host infamously put his foot in his mouth last month by claiming GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley was not “in her prime,” which not only upset co-anchors Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collin but ignited a firestorm of criticism that led to Lemon publicly apologizing and being sent to “formal training.” His tone-deaf remark was ridiculed Sunday by ...
